Subject: RE: BS: Songs Encapsulating People, Others
DaveO nearly reduced me to tears at his Hearme concert with a song about the "Nightingale". A while back,someone sang it to me and changed Phyllis to Mary. I thought I was past the hurt but ...

And "The Bird in a Gilded Cage" always brings to mind Aunt May and the day she bobbed her and sisters' hair (hair which my grandfather had not allowed to be cut since birth). Then got them involved in the filming of some silent movies. "The Alabaster Box' was one. I would kill for a copy of it. And the alligator lamp with a red light in its mouth designed to scare the crap out of unsuspecting suitors. There's more but you get the idea.
